Looking for Advice in dealing with an SM.
So recently I’ve been having some issues with an SM. I was recently put on FMLA for medical complications (I won’t get into it because I don’t want to put myself or my SM on blast) but the long and short of it is that some days I simply cant work without making things worse, I get dizzy, lightheaded. Unable to leave bed without tripping over myself. When I tried to explain the situation to my SM they brushed me off, saying “your days are your days, we’ll sort it out as it comes up.” But ever since they found out I’ve noticed that they have been riding my ass every day that they come in after my shift.
My overnight DAW is mostly focused on Deep cleaning tasks, backstock, making sure that the store is ready for the morning crew. I can handle feedback, I’m not a wimp who can’t handle being told he did a bad job at a particular task, or forgot to get something simple when it just slipped my mind. However. This SM has done nothing but make snide, unnecessarily aggressive comments about the work I do. For example, one day after coming back from a sick day, I was told “your coverage was able to get the order put away and do all of your DAW. I don’t understand why you can’t do the same.” When I explained that order was not on my DAW. They respond “well, it wasn’t on their’s either. But maybe they just want this job more than you do.” I will admit that I got slightly unprofessional, and explained that if they wanted order to be put away when they came in on the morning shift, that they needed to add it to my DAW. But since that conversation they have been nitpicking my cleaning tasks, today I was told that I clearly didn’t clean the drink module because “there was dust on the napkin holder.” And I didn’t put away candy backstock, because they had put up one or two items, which customers had purchased in the time between me putting up backstock, and my SM following up on my DAW.
I feel it’s also important to point out that the follow up on my performance seems to be the only follow up that they do, given that I have found multiple items on the store shelves out of date by multiple days, and just this last Saturday morning, we had no breakfast prep made for the morning, setting us back a good bit.
I just don’t want to go to work at this point. I feel like when I put 100% of my effort into the tasks assigned to my shift it isn’t enough. I feel like I’m expected to do the extra tasks despite not ever being scheduled with a flex, or an overnight clerk, just myself.
I also don’t feel comfortable using my sick time. As I feel it only adds fuel to the fire. But if I don’t use my sick time and force myself to come in, my work is subpar. Unfocused. And damaging to my physical health.
What should I do?
